TIPS FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION AND HEAVY REMODELING For Contractors

SECRETS REVEALED THAT MANY PEOPLE WILL NEVER KNOW…

Carefully analyze your noise situation, before closing up walls and floors.

Consider using real sound control windows where needed.

Use low-cost special building techniques now to minimize the requirements for expensive soundproofing material later.

If you’re on a budget, at least use tape and inexpensive resilient channel for some kind of sound control. (Something is better than nothing). If real results are what you need, use soundclips and MLV barrier.

Some building materials are better than others for sound control. We carry the full line of Pinta Acoustics Products such as Illbruck PROSPEC Decibel Drop Viscoelastic Dampening Compound, the “Architects Choice”.

Lead lined drywall is available from us! Or we’ll show you how to make your own!

Give some thought to the attic and outside noise reduction.

Planning to use plants and trees for a sound fence? Don’t. It won’t work.

Take a walking tour of soundproofing a house!

A special note about having a home office.

Some words about putting in wood or tile floors! (You must have some resilience to the floor or the people underneath will hate you!)

What you need to know about insulation, such as cellulose and other types of “Blow-In’s” (Rock wool is the only common product we know of that has appreciable soundproofing qualities).

New! Cotton fiber insulation provides thermal and sound insulation and it’s a “Green” product!!

If you are a Homeowner:

Often, homeowners think about their basement remodel or
the extra space coming with their home addition, and
they overlook the companion projects that usually ride
shotgun with these improvements. So don’t just think
new windows or fixing the roof, but consider the other
areas of improvement that are likely to go hand-in-hand
with any home project, like sound control and air purification for the add-on, etc.

VISCO-ELASTIC GREEN GLUE
COMPOUND REVOLUTIONIZES SOUNDPROOFING!

Our green glue vs. the runny thin stuff!

The First Western Region Distributor for Green Glue!
We stock massive quantities of Green Glue and sell it as individual tubes, so you don’t have to buy more than you need! We ship everywhere by UPS. We discount it here to the lowest price!

High performance Green Glue is now available in quart cartridges. It can now be applied to drywall or sub-flooring with a standard large size caulk gun for cost effective application.

Green Glue is a Visco-Elastic adhesive used in between sheets of standard drywall, wood product paneling, cement board, and many other building materials to reduce sound transfer.

Third party acoustical tests demonstrated a STC rating of 56 using Green Glue in a standard single stud wall with common drywall. Low Frequency sound isolation was greatly improved over older technologies such as resilient channel.

For existing walls, just apply Green Glue to some new sheets of drywall and stick up on the wall, fasten in a places, tape off and paint or wallpaper!

For bare studding or ceiling joists, apply padding tape before hanging the sheets of wall paneling for even more enhanced sound control!

Easy to use, for small jobs it comes in caulk-type 29 oz. tubes or in buckets for large jobs. A case of 12 covers about 192 Sq. Ft. (A wall 24′ long and 8′ high). Dollar for dollar Green Glue, delivered, is the best value in soundproofing.

SOUND ISOLATION WALL AND CEILING – SSP DRYWALL MOUNTING CLIP

Resiliently mounted wall and ceiling Gypsum board (Drywall/ Sheetrock/ Wallboard) is fast becoming an industry standard for reducing sound transfer between rooms. (Soundproofing Rooms).

The SSP Sound Isolation Mounting Clip is used with Drywall Furring Channel (DWFC) in order to mount drywall panels.  The clip has a molded neoprene element that provides high sound insulation between the panel and the framing.  Metal ends provide sturdy support.

Tested Composite Wall Constructions per ASTM E90 and ASTM 413 at Riverbank Labs. Wood Stud partition. 2 x 4, 16” O.C. with 5/8” gypsum board, one layer each side. R19 fiberglass in cavity. SSP clips and 7/8” furring channel. (* +7 STC improvement compared to the same wall with resilient channel. Find details in our report SSP Clip vs. RC.) Wood Stud partition. 2 x 4, 16” O.C. with 5/8” gypsum board, one layer one side, two layers on opposite side. R19 fiberglass in cavity. SSP clips and 7/8” furring channel. Wood Stud partition. 2 x 4, 16” O.C. with 5/8” gypsum board, two layers each side. R19 fiberglass in cavity. SSP clips and 7/8” furring channel. Resilient Sound Isolation Wall and Ceiling Clip Model SSP Benefits: Highly effective sound control at lowest installed cost. Quick and easy to install with standard drywall furring channel. Weight capacity – 50 lbs. per clip maximum. Maximizes available occupied space with low-profile design. Performance range of STC 57 to STC 64 per laboratory tests, a substantial improvement vs. resilient channel. Eliminates problem of hard attaching that is common with resilient channel.

Build-out of the pad/channel assembly is 1-1/2″

It mounts with  screws (or other fastener appropriate to the material to which it’s mounted), providing a low-profile sound control system that is low-cost and simple to implement.

One mount is required for every four sq. ft. of wallboard area.  A typical 8′ wall  would have SSP clips mounted to the DWFC  creating three horizontal rows, one a few inches from the top and one few inches from the bottom and another across the middle.  2″ Neoprene 3/8″ thick Vibration pads are spaced every 2′ on the floor to support the edge of the drywall panels.  The panels are then attached to the DWFC with drywall screws in the normal manner.  A gap must be provided where the walls meet the ceiling and other walls and sealed with acoustical caulk.

The gap at the floor is sealed either with lots of caulk and/or with “Backer Square” to reduce the amount of caulk needed to seal the large gap left by the vibration pad.  Adding one layer of 5/8″ Fire Code Drywall in this manner will more than double the sound reduction of the existing wall.  More sound reduction would be obtained by adding more sound control elements into the project.

Ceilings are handled similar to the above.  Installation details are the same as for other clips.

The correct DWFC (track) for the ISO Mount- in 5′ lengths- we also have it with tape padding already applied!  

Notice about the availability of steel track: Supplies are tight, make sure you can get the proper 25 gage material before you start your job!  Best to order from us to make sure.

Snoring presents particular problems

Snoring presents particular problems because the sound is usually low frequency and quite loud and nearby. The low frequency headset would work best as well as some offsetting noise nearby, such as a fan or hiss like from between the stations on your FM radio.

GET INFO ON INTERIOR WINDOWS!

Interior windows are fitted to the inside frame of your existing windows and held in place with magnets, providing excellent sound reduction.  Please give us some info on how to contact you about how the windows are fitted and to discuss your needs.  Indicate if you feel competent to measure them and install them or need someone to come out and do it. It’s best to have one of our experts call you.  (We pay for the call that way!).

CLOSED-CELL PIPE INSULATION

BLACK OR WHITE

Pipes need insulation too. Not just for thermal purposes, (even though that’s important, too), but especially for sound control.

This pipe insulation is the biggest, heaviest and the best thermal/sound insulator we could find and deserves to be installed in the walls/floor/ceiling before closing them up.

Note the different sizes listed in the chart for copper vs Iron/PVC.  Measure your pipe carefully to be sure you get the right size for your kind of pipe.  Pipe should fit snugly inside the pipe insulation.  If you should get the wrong size, oversize, cut a strip out of it lengthways to reduce the  inside diameter. Don’t overlap!  If you have some that’s too small for your pipe, you can order some 1″ thick “Super Soundproofing” Absorbent Foam and fit strips of it into the pipe insulation to widen it.  When joining pipe insulation together, apply a light coating of contact cement to the edges and allow to dry, then apply a tack coat and press edges together to join.  Cover the pipe with glue to provide an intimate contact to the pipe insulation to improve damping effect of the noise vibration.

Pipe insulation comes in 6′ lengths and is to be slit lengthways for easy installation.  It’s best to apply the material to the pipe with adhesive, as well as sealing the slit with adhesive, long-ways. (A sharp razor knife or electric turkey carving knife may be used).   The entire pipe must be glued and covered!  No gaps or crevices.

Now, After covering all your pipe, for vertical runs of pipe, line the inside if the wall cavity the pipe is in with “Super Soundproofing” Foam, the thicker the better. 1/2″ is nominal. Cover the whole inside of the panel, front and back, including the stud facings.  For horizontal runs, do the same, additionally make sure the pipe has clearance through the holes in the studs and is not touching. Sometimes removing/repositioning the clamps holding the pipe will help.  Push soundproofing mat into these clearances.  If there is too little clearance try to widen the gap somehow.  (Saw, chisel, drill away, etc).  The pipe must have clearance or it will transmit sound vibration into the studding, which in turn, will re-radiate it.

When installing pipe, if you have a choice, cast iron pipe is superior to PVC pipe for noise control, but should still be covered with pipe insulation.

This insulation will not support a flame.

Note: The Black Pipe insulation listed above is 1″ thick and may be ordered right here.  It is available from stock at our San Marcos store. Other thicknesses are available, as well as the white color pipe insulation, but on special order.  Check with us for details.  760 752 3030
